Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2459756, member: 2133"] Not sure what your metric is here. All-star? Playing in the NBA is exceedingly hard. Being an all-star is exceptionally difficult to do. Just getting a check for 2-5 years of basketball is pretty good. Kentucky has its share of flameouts despite getting the recruits who are in the top-20. I find it incredibly odd that so many people blame the mediocrity of the SU program over the last 4-5 years on kids who are following their dream and not the incredibly well-compensated coaching staff who have the responsibility to recruit and develop players, maintain compliance with rules, and design the teams' play. But then pat the coaches on the back when one kid goes off and has an unreal couple of games in the tournament. That's a helluva good deal. I'd take that kind of support from my boss in a heartbeat.
